From the raid on the FSB agent's apartment Merk's team found classified documents on gangs and suppliers that the rebels are dealing with
Apart from that after the raid occurred, the rebels attacks in LA are moving from being focused on sending a message by targeting government owned or controlled areas to increasing the body count of civilians killed to send a message
Seeing this Merk is planning on changing the rules up
Instead of playing by the rules of the military he wants to play by his own rules
Without informing anyone superior to him he gathered his team and some documents and made their way to one of their Blackhawks
"What's are mission Merk?" asked Adam
"I'll let you know when we're wheels up" said Merk
They all got in the helicopter and it took off
Merk pulled out a few papers from the documents and passed them around
"Yesterday rebel forces attacked a community college with the goal of killing as much people as they can, they used chemical weapons, small arms, and explosives. All of these were either helped supplied or transported by gangs across the city, that's where our target comes into play. Our target is an old guy named Marvin, he leads a biker gang that has gotten too close with the rebels" said Merk
"So this is a bag and drag?" asked Alex
"Just an ordinary capture mission. We're going to make an example out of him. Any more gangs attempt to keep aiding the rebels will be killed. We're working off our own rules on this mission, Falls doesn't know about this" said Merk
"What's the rules?" asked Danny
"Rule one, weapons free on everyone except our target. Rule two no one mentions anything to Falls about this, he doesn't understand what's needed to win. Finally Danny, don't get fucked up this time" said Merk
"Alright dick" said Danny

Their helicopter left the base and were enroute to their targets house
"Merk come in over, one of your helicopters left the base, where are you off to?" asked Sergeant Falls
"Going on a reconnaissance mission, report back with any rebel activity" said Merk
"Alright, keep in touch" said Sergeant Falls
Merk switched channels and told everyone what to switch to
"Everyone hear me?" asked Merk
"Yeah we hear you. I thought you were bad at lying?" asked Triston
"That was years ago, I think I got a bit better or Falls is just stupid as shit" said Merk

Within ten minutes they made it to a residential neighborhood where intel showed Marvin was
Their helicopter landed them a bit up the road and they made their way to his house on foot
They got to his front door and stacked up on each side of it
Merk Triston and Danny on the right and Adam Mike and Alex on the left
"Everyone ready?" asked Merk
They all shook their heads in agreement
Merk slowly tried turning the doorknob but it was locked
"Breacher up" said Merk
Alex came from the left side with a breaching hammer in hand and struck the door swinging it open
The team entered and began clearing the living room and kitchen of the house
"First floor clear, Mike and Triston you're with me, the rest of you head to the basement. If you find Marvin you take him alive unless we need to take him out" said Merk

Merk, Mike, and Triston moved up the stairs
The three of them stacked up on the first door on the left of the hallway and breached the room
Where they saw an old man sitting on a bed
"PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP!" yelled Merk
"Alright hold the hell on you fucks" said the old man
"Triston start clearing the other rooms we got him. Are you Marvin?" asked Merk
"Damn right I am" said Marvin
"Sir you're being placed into custody of U.S. Special Operations. Please stand up and turn around" said Merk
"Give me a god damn second I can barely stand up" said Marvin
Merk was getting noticeably more annoyed and impatient with Marvin
Marvin stood up and waiting for Merk's commands
"Grab the top back of your shirt and lift up to the point we can see your waistband, turn around slowly in a circle motion until we tell you to stop" said Merk
Marvin complied, lifted his shirt up and slowly turned in a circle motion
As he was turning Mike spotted the grip of a pistol hanging out of the back of his pants and yelled for him to stop and drop the gun
Marvin complied again and dropped the gun
He continued until he was once again facing Merk
"What now?" asked Marvin
"Now turn around and get on the ground" said Merk
"Hell no, I can't do that" said Marvin
"Just get on the fucking ground" said Merk
"Ain't happening" said Marvin
"That's it's, Mike fucking cover me" said Merk
Merk ordered Marvin the put his hands up and went in to secure him
As Merk came in he grabbed Marvin's left arm and pulled it towards him
When he did Marvin moved his thumb into the palm of his right hand and slammed it down on the side of Merk's neck in the carotid artery
When he did, Merk lost control of his body and began to fall
Marvin caught him, unholstered his pistol and fired at Mike, hitting him three times
He fell to the ground and started screaming in pain
Marvin grabbed Merk and used him as a human shield
"Messed with the wrong fucking biker" said Marvin
"You're fucked, you're a dead man" said Merk
"Not exactly, I got men coming and you and the two others don't seem to be in best of conditions" said Marvin
As they were talking Triston came around the corner into the room and aimed his rifle in Marvin and Merk's direction
"Put him down motherfucker" said Triston
"You seem to be talking a lot of shit for someone who's going to loose his whole team" said Marvin
"Merk what's the plan?" asked Triston
"Cover Mike as he gets out of here" said Merk
When Merk said that Marvin shot Mike again in the back
"He ain't leaving, if he moves again he dies" said Marvin
Triston backed up towards the doorway and looked down the stairs
He yelled down the stairs for the rest of his team but was interrupted when Marvin fired at him
Marvin fired twice, one hit the wall behind him and the second shot hit him in the helmet as he ran for cover
"TRISTON!" yelled Merk
"Should've brought the rest of your men up here in the first place" said Marvin
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! TRISTON ANSWER ME!" yelled Merk
There was no answer from Triston, but he did hear the rest of his team coming upstairs
